That's a good point (as you mentioned... either way should be enough) and something I think even the Ottawa Citizen writer missed. He wrote that he "collected more than $15 million US in salary"... and I'm assuming by him using 'collected' he is also assuming that the reported salary is Chris' take-home.

Learned a lot recently about how much less players take home vs. what we see on Cap Geek.
